Why not through PC method as you have mentioned by yourself ? you do this job not really often, right ? i think chop it in your local pc and reassemble it in the destination remote pc, then up to UnixBox should work.

It's worth mentioning that RAR is also avalible for Linux: https://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.0.tar.gz

To extract it, use:

tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.0.tar.gz
